X-Men #23
In "Endstation," New York lies in darkness after Onslaught's EMP blast cripples the city's power grid, leaving its citizens vulnerable. With the Avengers stepping in to help, Giant-Man and Iron Man arrive bearing a psychic-powered suit, only to face a sudden assault from Post and Holocaust, who seek to seize the technology for themselves. As the heroes repel the attackers, Onslaught himself emerges to mock them—setting the stage for a confrontation that could decide the fate of the city. Written by Mark Waid and Reinhard Schweizer, with dynamic art by Mike Deodato and Tom Palmer, and colors by John Kalisz, this issue captures a pivotal moment in the chaos, with a cover by Joe Madureira and Tim Townsend that perfectly frames the storm.
In the wake of Onslaught’s devastating EMP blast that plunges New York into darkness, the Avengers step in to aid the city’s stranded citizens. When Giant-Man and Iron Man arrive equipped with a powerful psionic suit, they’re immediately challenged by Post and Holocaust, who seek to seize the technology for themselves. As the team fends off the attackers, Onslaught emerges to mock them—leaving the Avengers to brace for a battle that could decide the fate of the city.
In "Freier Fall," Mystique and Sabretooth plummet through a mysterious portal, landing in a forgotten underground canal system. There, they're confronted by Dark Beast, who claims to be a double of the real Beast and offers them freedom from X-Factor—if they'll kill Forge as proof of their loyalty.
In "Doppeltes Spiel," X-Factor races to untangle a web of deception spun by Dark Beast, striving to rescue the real Beast from a dangerous illusion. As Havok and Random clash over Polaris, the battle takes a shocking turn when the victor unexpectedly disables her—leaving the outcome hanging in the balance.
